SETTIMO CIELO / LA CULLA |
Two sections located within a short distance
from one another. The “Settimo Cielo” slabs have
not too difficult routes, from 3 to 4 pitches .
The “Culla” routes instead are shorter and more
challenging. Both sections have a really nice
and abrasive rock. The access is not the easiest
one, but if you’re able to follow the right way
it’s not too long and can even be enjoyable
(despite the high grass and thorny vegetation). |

Approach:
From
Bodengo, by the fountain
at the end of the village, you must
ascend the grassy hill behind it – along the
side of the creek- following a track through the
vegetation until meeting a nice path coming from
the right side. Follow it, cross the creek and
continue on the steep and quite pronounced path.
When arrived to a small open space the path
bends to the left, still ascending. After
reaching a second creek
go up the grassy hill in the “Culla”
section direction walking around its base. To
reach the “Settimo Cielo” slabs continue
following an ascending band with a few easy
steps on the rocks (long pants recommended). |

ROSA DEI VENTI, the first route open on Signame
slab by Franco Giacomelli and Renata Rossi on
1990 has been recently rebolted. It is a
beautiful friction climbing and now with a more
direct line in some sections. It is possible to start below with two addictional pitches on S.Pietro slab too. You can see the detailed list of the climbs on Valchiavenna Rock Climbing |
